National Frozen Food Day

Ready to celebrate National Frozen Food Day celebrated on the 6th of March? You’re in for a treat! This special day is all about appreciating the deliciousness and convenience of frozen food. From pizza to chicken nuggets, there’s something for everyone to love.

We buy a load of frozen food, heat it in the microwave or oven, and then consume it by the tons. What we don’t realize is that there’s a whole lot of work that goes into making our favorite frozen foods. Let’s take a closer look at some of the steps involved in bringing frozen food to our plates.

First, the food is harvested or raised. Once it’s ready, it’s taken to a processing plant where it’s cleaned and cut into pieces. After that, it’s blanched (quickly boiled), which helps to kill any bacteria and preserve the food’s flavor, color, and nutrients.

Then, the food is frozen using one of two methods: cryogenic freezing or cold-storage freezing. Cryogenic freezing uses liquid nitrogen to freeze food rapidly, while cold-storage freezing uses air to slowly lower the food’s temperature.

After the food is frozen, it’s packaged and sent off to be stored in a warehouse or grocery store freezer until we’re ready to eat it.

History of Frozen Food

You might think that because we have ovens and/or microwaves, frozen food is cooked because of that. Interesting thought however frozen food goes way back.

The idea started in the 1700s to see if it was possible to freeze food. It started with freezing a turkey and it actually worked! It wasn’t until the 1800s that people started to package and sell frozen food.

In 1930, the first mechanical refrigerator was invented and that’s when things really started to take off. In the 1940s, Clarence Birdseye created a quick-freezing process that is still used today. This process freezes food so quickly that ice crystals don’t have time to form, which means the food doesn’t get dried out.

Nowadays, we have a wide variety of frozen foods to choose from, and we can thank all the people who have worked hard to make this possible!
